Hacking Force Docked mode in portable ?

[gameboy]

but you have your hands on the joy cons and not the system itself. your also not keeping it encased in plastic on 2 sides so it could possibly vent a tad better

i actually keep my hands on the system itself to prevent bending, its why i added that a new custom backplate with more air vents and built in spines are necessary if there was an overclocked mode

I thought bending was just a rarer issue that people just blew out of preportion

30 more power overall

Yeah don't take this guy's advice on this.

Those of you who just assume that this is possible: have you considered that the Switch might draw more power from the AC adapter during docked play than the Switch could reasonably draw from the battery, if forced to operate at docked levels in handheld mode?

 

[Migoma]

The switch won't get much hotter since in docked mode is sandwiched inside the dock that's when it gets a little hot

This is totally possible and I would love it even if I have to be plugged because some games look horrible like Xenoblade and some games run like crap like Lego City in handheld mode

 

[Taffy]

I've taken my switch out of its dock after some intense pokken sessions and my hands haven't melted off.

It could happen

also I love how we forgot about the first thread there was about this.

that's where plugging in a battery pack comes in

Doesn't linux default to docked anyway? Portable mode linux seems fine right?

 

[Blind1]

Anyone figure out some way for this?
Im playing xenoblade 2 and in portable mode, game texture and graphics make me cry!

They don't seem to care I don't see how this could be hard since you'll be plugged to the wall anyhow

The good thing about xeno you'll get over it quickly the game is great so you soon forget the crappy dynamic resolution

probably still a higher res then the 3ds screen -.-

Pump, more and more games now run at 720P DOCKED and less than 480P portable, Crash Bandicoot, and Wolfenstein II are the latest examples. We desperately need this. Where are all the geniuses here?

I know that lakka.tv allows you to change the clock speeds. I've sat and played PSX for a few hours before with it set to the docked clock speed.
The switch does get a little toastier but not horribly hot. A custom back plate with some extra vents and maybe even an extra little fan somewhere (if the fan was small/thin enough and there were room somewhere) would help a bit though.

Trying to kill or damage your battery I see

Ah yes, just like those hundreds of dead PSP batteries I have lining my walls.

 

[Chipidy]

You will kill your switch. Your battery can't give enough power to the SoC.

You won't kill the Switch. What will happen is the battery will consume more power. You can still play it normally .When it's docked it is just charging the Switch at the same time.

Easily doable with a battery pack to equal out the normal use of battery power . Whoever says "It will break your Switch" needs to understand how the battery/Switch actually works lmao

Nintendo didn't allow it for one simple reason: Make battery life LONGER for handheld mode.

I'd love this to be a reality but unfortunately, I think it would probably drain the battery very fast.

Yes exactly, and according to Anandtech the power draw is actually only about 20% higher while playing Zelda (8.9 watts portable vs 11 watts docked), so even on the stock battery it's shouldn't be a massive difference, Say 2.0-2.5 instead of 3 Hours.
